In life, the unobtrusive, little steps usually result in the most significant change. The book A Servant Journey: Short Stories by Chuck Sessa calls us to the world of personal battles and spiritual revelations. In every story, the writer demonstrates how resistance to faith may be overcome to discover the peace of Christ in the most unimaginable way.
The steps of Sessa are an ideal illustration of how it is possible to overcome spiritual resistance by merely letting ourselves be useful to others and trusting in the guidance of God. His initial opposition to Christianity, which is characterized by doubt and confusion, is similar to that of many of us when we are called to something bigger. However, his change came when he gave himself permission to serve others, be it in prayer, fellowship, or even in little measures.
Reading his stories, we see it all: the only important thing to do in order to overcome spiritual resistance is not some grand gesture but to simply open our hearts to God. The narrations bring to our mind that in giving to others, unselfishly, we usually come to realize what we are, and what can bring peace into our lives. Those little things that we can do, be it a word of encouragement or a touch of compassion, can transform us both internally and externally.
Have you ever experienced peace of mind after assisting somebody, even when you were least expecting it? The experience of Sessa teaches us that such moments are the work of God in us, who pushes us towards His love and peace.
